Magic Capital City, Jingjiang Residential Quarter.
Qi You went offline, quickly removed her helmet, still wearing her Hello Kitty pink pajamas, got off the bed, put on slippers, and ran to the next room.
The door wasn’t locked, so she pushed it open and ran in.
At that time, Qi Yun was sitting at the desk by the window reading a book.
Wearing a cream-colored sweater, her long hair draped over her shoulders, she was reading a literary work called City-toppling Smoke.
The descriptions of emotions in the book made her feel a bit melancholy.
“Big Sis?”
“Mm?”
Qi Yun closed the book, turned to look at her unusually excited sister, and smiled slightly.
From this girl’s excitement, the matter must have succeeded.
“Chen Xiaoyan agreed?”
“No.” Unexpectedly, Qi You shook her head.
Qi Yun was stunned for a moment, then gave her a blank look.
“If she didn’t agree, why are you so happy?”
After saying that, she turned back to continue reading.
“Big Sis, Chen Xiaoyan Dalao didn’t agree, but she said she would arrange a place for us to stay, to avoid Tianxia Wushuang’s surveillance.”
Qi Yun frowned slightly, put down the book again, and turned to ask, “What does she mean?”
Qi You plopped down on the bed, lying in a “big” shape.
“What else could it mean? The big shots don’t trust us. They’re afraid we might be up to something.”
“Us?”
“Yeah, Chen Xiaoyan and Mu Qingxue and those other Da Luos discussed it. They even asked me for evidence. Tell me, where would I get evidence to give her?”
Qi Yun didn’t mind that. After all, her sister and she were originally members of Wushuang Lou, and at a fairly high status.
Their suspicion was perfectly normal.
If it were her, she would do the same.
“Then do you think they want to help us?”
Qi You folded her hands behind her head and rested on her pillow, her little feet restlessly tapping the edge of the bed.
“I don’t know.”
“Then what do you know?”
“I’ve said everything I know.”
Qi Yun was extremely speechless.
This girl really wasn’t reliable.
“Ah!” Qi You suddenly exclaimed, then sat up and quickly ran back to her own room.
Qi Yun was puzzled by her sudden outburst. What was she going on about now?
In a moment, Qi You came back holding her phone.
“I almost forgot to add Chen Xiaoyan’s Penguin.”
“She gave you her Penguin account?”
Qi You nodded. “Yep.”
According to the numbers she remembered, she entered them into the search box to add a friend. After the search results appeared, she left a message and clicked to add friend.
After finishing, she threw the phone onto the bed.
However, Qi Yun also breathed a sigh of relief. The fact that Chen Xiaoyan allowed Xiaoyou to add her as a friend indicated that she intended to accept them. It was just that she was afraid they might have issues, so she didn’t agree directly.
“Sis, are their people still wandering around the neighborhood?”
Qi Yun’s face darkened as she nodded.
“I just saw them when I went out. There are strangers at the community park and at the entrance. They must be the ones watching us.”
“Hmph.” Hearing this, Qi You sneered in contempt at Qin Wushuang.
“That man pretended to be polite and courteous before, but now his true colors are showing. Sis, all men are the same. To get you, he’ll stop at nothing.”
Qi Yun smiled faintly at this and didn’t mind. She still felt a bit guilty toward Qin Wushuang, after all, she was the one who betrayed their relationship first.
“Alright, don’t talk about him. Let’s talk about how we can avoid the surveillance outside and leave here.”
Qi You sat up at once, worry in her eyes. “Sis, if we leave, what about the house?”
“We’ll leave it empty for now. We’ll come back when we have a chance.”
“Alright.”
Seeing her sister’s gloomy expression, Qi Yun smiled. “What? Don’t you want to leave?”
Qi You pursed her lips and lay back down.
“It’s not that. It’s just that leaving suddenly feels a bit reluctant.”
“Yeah.”
Qi Yun looked around her bedroom and sighed.
After living here for so many years without ever leaving, suddenly leaving really did feel a bit reluctant.
But they had no choice but to go.
With that, the two were quiet for a while.
Qi Yun continued reading City-toppling Smoke, while Qi You, feeling bored, picked up her phone to browse the news.
The silence was broken only by the notification sound of a new Penguin message.
Qi Yun was also familiar with the Penguin notification sound. In the past, she might not have cared, but now during this tense period, the sound made her nerves tighten.
She turned and asked, “Whose message is it?”
“Chen Xiaoyan Dalao accepted the friend request. She must have gotten off the game.”
Hearing this, Qi Yun immediately put down her book and sat next to Qi You.
“Send her a video call.”
“Okay.”
Qi You sent a video call request, and the other side immediately accepted.
“You are?”
Chen Xiaoyan had just gotten off the bed and was about to put on her slippers when suddenly a video request popped up on her phone. She instinctively thought it was Mu Qingxue and accepted.
But seeing the girl on the opposite screen was clearly not Mu Qingxue, she was a bit confused.
“Give me the phone. I’ll talk.”
Qi You didn’t object and handed over the phone.
After all, she wasn’t very good at this kind of thing anyway. Let her sister handle it.
Qi Yun took the phone and looked at the familiar face on the other side. She was also very nervous.
But she still mustered the courage to speak.
“Hello, Xiaoyan Dalao. I’m Yunyun Doesn’t Want to Heal. Do you remember me?”
“You, I remember.”
“That’s good. Did my sister talk to you in the game earlier?”
“Yeah, she did. Also, you don’t have to call me Dalao. It sounds awkward. Just call me Sister Xiaoyan.”
Chen Xiaoyan withdrew her foot from beside the bed and sat cross-legged on the bed.
“Sister Xiaoyan.” Qi Yun didn’t stand on ceremony and called out straightforwardly.
“Mm. Your sister said you’re being watched by Qin Wushuang now?”
“Yes.”
“Can you come out? I’ll send someone to pick you up.”
“Sister Xiaoyan, they’re only watching us, not restricting our freedom. That would be illegal.”
“I see.” Chen Xiaoyan rested her chin on her hand and thought for a long time, then said, “Then why don’t you call the police?”
Qi Yun sighed, her face full of worry.
“I already did, but the police came, understood the situation, and left. He must have tipped off the station. Besides, those watching haven’t committed any illegal acts, so it’s hard to deal with.”
Chen Xiaoyan nodded.
“In Magic Capital City?”
“Yes.”
“Send me your location. I’ll send someone to pick you up, then set up a Maze Formation.”
“Maze Formation?” Qi Yun looked confused.
“Those people will definitely follow you. Use a little trick to shake them off.”
“I understand. What do I need to do?”
“Nothing. Just follow my people’s arrangements.”
“Okay.”
“Mm. I won’t say much else. Finally, what are your real names?”
“Qi Yun. My sister is Qi You.”
“So, Qi Yun, Qi You, welcome to Xueyan Pavilion. From now on, we are sisters. Yeah!”
Chen Xiaoyan made a V-sign at the camera.
Qi Yun’s lips curled into a slight smile, like a gentle drizzle in early summer, falling on the heart, the coolness driving away the heat, refreshing and giving a comfortable feeling.
“Thank you, Sister Xiaoyan. If it weren’t for you, Xiaoyou and I wouldn’t know what to do now.”
Chen Xiaoyan smirked. “Thank me for what? You still have to sign a contract, you know. That’s a must.”
